The Secrets of the Largest tomb ever found in Egypt | Mystery Code
The tomb named KV5 is located only 70 meters (230 ft) from the tomb of Tutankhamun. Its existence had been known for over a century but its location remained elusive. The first person who tried to find it was James Burton, who excavated the area in the early 1830s.

Howard Carter also made an attempt. The location of the tomb was finally identified during an expedition in 1985 -1986 led by Kent Weeks of the American University in Cairo and the Theban Mapping Project, which used sonar and ground-penetrating radar. The first excavations began in 1987 and, after years of working, on May 18, 1995, Kent Weeks made a stunning announcement:
Although researchers had known of the site’s existence for over a century, it took a long time for them to realize what they had discovered.

Although many think that the tomb of Pharaoh #tutankhamun is the most important ever found in Ancient Egypt, a discovery made in 1995 called that claim into question.

That year, American Egyptologist Kent R. Weeks observed the actual size of the KV5 tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

It is close to king Tut’s final resting place: there are only 70 meters between them. In addition, the tomb is also close to the tomb of Ramses II, KV7, also in the same Egyptian region.
